13. Prevent change of form if data has been changed
If a user change something in a form/tab and then click another form before saving the changed data, with this filter the user will be noticed (POPUP) that it has to take an action.
The user has 2 options:
* Click OK and the updated data is kept but the user must now click APPLY in the form before moving to another from.
* Click CANCEL and the changed data will be lost and the form will look like it did before the change
This can be useful if you have a restriction filter on a form that should not be visible/available if a specific value is set on an object.

If you like to add data to a form that should NOT send to the browser you can now do that using Tab Parameters. Example of this:
- Connection parameters for an external user store. For example Connection account, password, server IP port.

A common scenario is that you have a Tab External Filter added to the form that can use the values of the parameters added in Tab Parameter.
